So, first I’ll share my project for the week. I started with my new barn wood striped table runner and wanted to stick with the yellow and blue theme for my dining room. (The normal reds and greens just don’t seem at home in there.)

I have seen these little winterscapes all over blogs the past few years and since I already had a small collection of vintage blue Ball jars and trees from my village, I thought it would be perfect.

This project is ridiculously simple. Add your trees. Add faux snow.

Then, I just used sticky tack to attach a battery operated tea light to the top of the jar.

At night, it makes the little jars glow. If I were doing it again, I’d try to find something a little brighter. This angle makes them look a little goofy, but you get the idea.

(And because I know you are going to ask – the table settings are Fiestaware and they were a gift from my parents five or so years ago. I’m obsessed with them. They are typically available at Younkers and sell out quickly every year.)

So that’s how I Dared to DIY this year for our holiday table. It’s getting me in the mood to entertain. Who wants to come over? I’ll provide the table. You bring dinner. And dessert.

I love these. So cute. I have been in the mood to put things in jars lately too. I love the punch of yellow from the pine cones. I am working on a turquoise yellow color scheme myself over here 🙂 Love your project Kim!!!
